ActivityPub

@julian @hrefna one thought I’ve had is if you could transform Misskey Markdown’s funky effects into custom elements that supporting receivers could render, for example

@julian Yeah, this is my assumption as well. There's very little you can do to force this matter, and there's a lot of complexity in preventing server software from revealing this, so it isn't something your software can assume. You can make it easier to hide that information, you can make it easier to use proxies etc, but you can't expect the software to do this for you. Installed software simply operates at the wrong level for that.

@[email protected] @[email protected] ULID and Snowflake look really interesting, this thread was the first time I'd heard of either. I was wondering what Mastodon used to generate their unique IDs, but I didn't wonder so much to actually look into it haha. We use UUIDv4 whenever we need something random generated, but something lexicographically (ULIDs) or numerically (snowflake) sortable might be handy... Where were you two six months ago LOL

@eeeee the ActivityPub integration is under heavy development and won't be ready for awhile. When it is, we'll release v4.0.0 /world contains topics from users that you explicitly follow. You probably don't see any topics there because you don't follow any users, or the ones you do haven't posted anything yet

@crazycells you're passing the naked url which is not correct. You have to run it through encodeURIComponent() before using it as an url fragment Note the % ended symbols in my post above Ah, if you mean via the menu, I suppose that needs to be fixed.

Quick update: you are now able to mention individual users in your posts, and if you are mentioned in return, you will now be notified. There was also a bug where remote user avatars were not showing up in your notification inbox. That has now been rectified. [image: 1709668985075-eef805e8-3ccf-47d6-b7b9-c7d96e5df9e6-image.png]

@[email protected] Thanks for the reply, I'm glad these discussions are taking place. I independently settled on the approach advocated in that link you shared — given any Note ID, I traverse up the chain until I find the root, and that becomes the original topic post. If there were some sort of standard for defining a topic ID, I would use that, although I think at present there are no consistent applications. FEP-400e explicitly mentions forum topics, but I am not entirely certain whether this is something I'd want to follow as topic themselves don't have an "owner".

@The-SkyFoxx nope, as federation was enabled for this forum, all users are automatically federating their content out (at least for the categories I've manually enabled federation on). That tells me I should probably do a write-up on how this all works currently, in NodeBB.
